Calgranulins are small calcium-binding proteins with several immunological functions involved in inflammatory processes. Calgranulin A is reported to be mainly associated with acute inflammation while calgranulin B seems to play a role in chronic inflammatory disorders. In this study we used a proteomic approach to analyse calgranulin B expression in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from a group of patients with different interstitial lung diseases. Two dimensional electrophoresis analysis of BAL was performed in 11 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients, nine sarcoidosis patients, 11 with systemic sclerosis patients and five healthy controls. Significantly higher (p
